Movado Museum Dial Appraisal

Movado Museum Dial Quartz Wristwatch

This is a vintage Movado Museum Dial Quartz wristwatch. The watch features a classic yellow gold-tone, round case with a minimalist, black dial. The dial's defining characteristic is the single concave gold dot at the 12 o'clock position, representing the sun at high noon, which is a signature element of the Movado Museum Dial design. The hands are tapered golden batons, with a longer minute hand and a shorter hour hand, maintaining the dial's clean aesthetic where hour markers are absent. The watch is fitted with a black leather strap that appears to have a lizard or alligator grain pattern, common for luxury watches of its era. The strap exhibits a textured, raised pattern and is attached to the watch lugs. Visible on the dial, near the 6 o'clock position, are very small, almost illegible markings that likely indicate 'SWISS MOVADO'. The watch appears to be in great condition overall, with no significant visible scratches or damage to the crystal or case. The gold-tone retains its luster, suggesting minimal wear or good preservation. The strap also appears to be well-maintained, without obvious cracks or excessive creasing, indicative of careful use. This particular style dates from the latter half of the 20th century, likely 1970s to 1990s, when quartz movements became prevalent and Movado's Museum Dial gained significant popularity. The craftsmanship reflects Movado's reputation for sleek, modern design and reliable timekeeping.
